Instead of just you know, holding onto the btc hoping for it to appreaciate, why not invest in ina company or business priced and operated in btc, like on the stock exchange that's opening....around monday.

Cool. Its like a Ponzi scheme on top of a ponzi scheme. I love it!

j/k (kinda)

Only some of the shares are *likely* to be ponzi schemes, so you're only partially right.

Heh. My wife said she wouldn't be okay with me spending more than about $500 on it, so I bought 500 bitcoins at 0.85. Then she said that by $500 she had meant what I already spent on the GPU and PSU. The price was still down at the moment, so I sold a little, waited, and finally exited at a very small net profit (about $20) by selling off the rest.

My girl is all for it if it makes money. this is how our convos go tho.

after 2-3days of miningGF: how many bitcoins do you have now?Me:lemme check.... around 1.7GF:why does it take so long?

Lol i wish i had money to get a better card but i'll just have to wait until these bitcoins pay for a better one.and if anybody takes the offer for my Acer H203H monitor(perfect condition of 33BTC with out shipping)

I told a couple of people I work with...and since I work at a financial institution, that made for some pretty interesting conversation. I managed to get one co-worker to help out when I convinced him that the algorithms we were working on were not, in fact, nuclear launch codes or the like. Told the missus, as well...she keeps an eye on the rig for me. And a couple of my gamer buddies, who are having serious heat issues. All told, that's like 4 people.

To my surprise, his reaction was overwhelmingly positive. He agreed that Bitcoin was a brilliant idea, but said that he won't be investing because high risk investments are just not his thing. Fair enough.

When I told him about the price development of my investment, he told me that I should sell all my BTC immediately. I didn't take his advice, but it feels good to have "come out" anyhow.

When I told her about it she said: I don't get it but anyway what can you buy for it?I commissioned the awesomely talented guy at http://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5770.0 to do a piece for her, which she loved.She won't trust in the stuff until you can buy chocolate with it tho :-)
